Hand Painted Pine Bedroom Furniture, Northampton

This was a 25 year old bedroom suite of furniture that the owners had become tired of, they shopped around and found that to replace with new modern furniture would be quite expensive.

As the furniture and layout fitted well in the room and was in very good condition they decided they would keep the exciting furniture and looked in to ways of updating, that’s where i came in, they found me on the Traditional Painter web site and after a site visit i supplied the customer with a fixed quote for hand painting.

As the furniture was highly polished the entire surfaces had to be sanded, this was done with my festool sander which also has a dust extractor attached,this really keeps the work area almost a 100% dust free.

The next job was to apply the primer Zinsser Bin a shellac based high adhesion paint, fine fill any defects and apply the undercoat in feelings furniture paint mixed in the top coat colour, followed by 2 top coats in feelings furniture paint semi matt finish mixed in Pavillion Gray a Farrow & Ball colour.

The final job was to fit the new modern handles supplied by the customer, i think you will agree from the before and after photos a fantastic make over which the customer was highly delighted with as was i.
